Watch Gonzaga.

[Crawfords Corner]

This team is better than a lot of fans throughout the country think.

 

[zannmann]

When did the Zags sign Mark Eaton?

 

[mjj_2K]

They aren't going to prove that against Northwestern.

Beat a top 4 seed. They did it last year (although it was Utah, hardly a powerhouse), but that was the 1st time this decade. If not, I really begin to question of they should ever be considered for a 1 seed.

 

[TheDude73]

The true test will be next week against WVU. It's clear that Northwestern won't be doing much of anything today. Gonzaga's going to be swatted in yet another Sweet 16 when they finally get to face a real team, from a real conference, with real athletes that can actually dribble the basketball.

 

[Goingfor9]

NW is a turd that vandy couldn't flush

 

[gossie21_rivals69805]

Nothwestern has eight points in 10 minutes. Related: Zags are ranked 1st in KenPom AdjD.

 

[throatpoker]

i'm watching them play trash teams

lol at that lob pass to a white bread like anthony davis was filling the lane

 

[bigc45157]

NW isn't all that great of a measuring stick.

They did beat fla, iowa st and zona.

Why would someone need to see them against a top 4 seed to know if pass the eye test.

 

[andyh64000]

Arizona without their best player.

 

[Mike-D]

Arizona without their best player.

Pretty sure they were missing 2

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Pretty sure they were missing 2

Trier and Jackson-Cartwright, I believe

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

NW shouldn't even be here if not for a bonehead play.

 

[ukwazoo]

It's definitely adjusted.

 

[kevcat]

Anyone that doesn't think Gonzaga is really good, is delusional.

They're probably the same blowhards that think our team is going to blow everybody out, even though we don't blow anybody out.

 

[UKcats#1]

There pretty damn good. I'm glad we won't see them till the finals.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

My vote is they suck *** hole

 

[RoyKent]

Gonzaga definitely looks the most legit they have ever been.

Not sure if they will do anything but they look like they can.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

My vote is they suck a-- hole

That makes me all that much more confident that UK beats WSU tomorrow. I'm already confident, but the more confidence the better.

 

[mjj_2K]

Who cares about the eye test?

I care about results, and Gonzaga's tourney results have been mixed. They haven't flamed out all that much, but they also haven't been able to beat any big boys. When they get a 1 or a 2 seed, somebody else is getting dropped because of it, and that somebody often gets pushed into UK's region (see Notre Dame in 15, UCLA this year). So I think it's about time that they offer some concrete proof that they really do belong up where they're being placed.

Beating Arizona and Iowa State in Nov/Dec is nice, but we're still talking about a team that's finished with a lower SOS rating, every single season this decade, than any team that's made the FF this decade.

Beat West Virginia, at least acquit yourself well in the Elite 8. That will pass the eye test and the results test.

 

[bookerfan66]

At least Michael Wilbon will be sad tonight.

 

[DUNNSTILLFREENALIVE]

Is it just me or are the refs screwing northwestern

 

[throatpoker]

Is it just me or are the refs screwing northwestern

Hard lesson for that little crying kid. Daddies money can't buy everything you want

 

[ukwazoo]

Wow that was a bad call. Everything is flagrant. This northwestern kid needs some meds lol

 

[ukwazoo]

Geez this game is rugby

 

[d2atTech]

gonzaga is doing their best to lose right now

 

[blubo]

wow. 7 pt game

 

[jameslee32]

Cryin' kid rallied the troops.

 

[HenryMuto]

What a difference instead of being down 3 they are down 7.........didn't get the call on the clear interference and now the Tech.

 

[KY_Kid]

Refs love them some Zags. Blow the call, then T up the coach for pointing it out.

 

[TortElvisII]

Collins is very hateable.

 

[Lempface]

What a difference instead of being down 3 they are down 7.........didn't get the call on the clear interference and now the Tech.

So annoying that they make the wrong call and then T the coach up for arguing. Absolutely embarrassing.

 

[jameslee32]

Just turrible. Hand was thru the rim!!!

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Omg, the Zag. Player blocks the shot through the rim, and it's not interference or goaltending? Wtf

 

[Lempface]

Just turrible. Hand was thru the rim!!!

Faaaaar the refs!!!

 

[KY_Kid]

Looked like offensive basket interference on the missed layup before the break too.

 

[Nubb16]

Ref should be shot dead after that non goaltend call and then the technical

 

[morgousky]

Oh man Gonzaga blazed past The superpower Northwestern by 5 with their mighty one tournament win in history!!

Seems legit?

 

[ukwazoo]

It's ova
